This Week

LOCAL MOTION is a proposed community-based voluntary tax on local merchants aimed at providing an economic base for a wide variety of non-profit Ann Arbor alternative and service institutions, ranging from the various food coops to child care centers. The group will be holding a first meeting for organizations or businesses interested in joining the coalition on Sunday, November 20th, 7:30 p.m. at the C-4 Community Center, 621 E. William.

A RAPE PREVENTION WORKSHOP will be held by the City Anti-Rape Board at Burns Park, 7 p.m. next Monday the 21st. The workshop is called for a day marked for nationwide protests against the murder conviction of lnez Garcia, found guilty of shooting a man who raped her recently in California. See story page 5.

BENEFITS for the Ann Arbor SUN and Attorney Don Koster's campaign to become, as the A2 News called it, "a self-proclaimed leftist" judge are coming up at Mr. Flood's Party on Washington Street. The Koster benefit is on Sunday the 20th with the Miller Brother Band, from 2-5 p.m. The SUN will get some badly needed funds from the proceedings Monday night the 21st, during regular night bar hours with Stoney Creek Bluegrass for only 75 cents.

ANN ARBOR/YPSI MUSIC this week includes the Souther-Hilman-Furay band at Hill Aud. with A2 favorite David Bromberg on Friday the 25th. The SHF band is drawn from former Buffalo Springfield and Poco members. That same night, the band declared as WAR hits Bowen Field House in Ypsi along with REO Speedwagon. Vocalist Tim Buckley will be featured at Bimbo's in Ypsi on Sunday the 27th. Buckley's latest LP is just out on Warner Brothers.

DETROIT MUSIC includes the newly reformed and tired-sounding group known as Traffic October 20 at Olympia, of all awful places. David Bowie struts his stuff at the Michigan Palace from now until the 20th, all shows sold out. The fabulous Willie Dixon of Chicago teams up with harpist Carey Bell at the Rainbow Room Oct. 23-25. After that, looks like a pretty mediocre set of big name pop concerts, with a few gems to include the J. Geils Band and the George Harrison tour. Oh yes, even Donovan is on his way to the Motor City.

ELECTION DEBATES and candidate appearances are flinging into full steam this week, including a Congressional debate Thursday the 24th in City Council chambers at 8 p.m. For a full schedule of appearances, see page 4.
